Just after a hurricane hit here in Florida on September 28, which happens to be my birthday (and subsequently we had power outages and no running water, and a tree fell on my family’s home down the street), Twitter decided to take my accounts down and ban me. Permanently.
As Twitter displayed, I started my main account in 2008 and had upwards of 100,000 followers on that account alone. Granted, Twitter was by no means my biggest social media platform, but since Instagram, Facebook and YouTube banned my 16 year old channels one year ago this week on my birthday, it was a great way to keep in touch.
Although sometimes the trolls would attack.
This was a concerted attack by one alleged doctor with a fake last name Canuck & a cartoon pic (who admitted publicly to following me only to “troll” and report me) but close to 20,000 followers, and another who slid into my DM’s asking my measurements and saying it looked like we had so much in common.
I actually had blocked both of them, but as Twitter allows, they can still tell their followers to please mass report me, and most of those followers are admittedly trolls with multiple accounts.
The offending tweet above was why Twitter decided to delete my account of nearly a decade and a half, and take down my product account at the same time, which had never had a violation. The reason listed for the product account, was that I was trying to evade permanent suspension. Problem is, they sent both emails at the very same minute, so that would be impossible.
Elon musk will allegedly close the deal buying Twitter any day now, and some believe that Twitter wanted to ban me prior to that, because it might be harder for me to get back up, and if Musk owned it then it might be harder to get me down in the first place.
Recently Alex Berenson was banned from Twitter, but went to San Francisco and took them to court. He won & got his account reinstated, although it was no easy feat.
The worst part was that Twitter sent out a public notice to anybody who had reported me, especially the trolls, who then made it go viral on Twitter with the reason at the top of the email they sent me , when there was no hateful racism or any of the things described in the paragraph Twitter announced to hundreds if not thousands of people. Mostly trolls received those who reported me with multiple accounts and made sure it spread like wildfire across Twitter. Sadly the screenshots I show you here were barely shared or hidden when they were.
I was simply responding to one of my followers with a kind innocent tweet. And a truthful tweet at that, I might add.
Having millions of unique followers taken away from us on Facebook alone when we were banned, plus hundreds of thousands on Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and now Twitter, it is very concerning the censorship that is going on in our country and around the world.
But we hope you will follow us here at Substack. We are so grateful for this platform, to be able to reach people with the truth, where we are not silenced by doctors who are paid for or schooled by institutions that are literally funded by big pharmaceutical corporations.
Where we can share you the truth of what is happening, which is nearly the opposite of what you see in main stream media each and every day. Or at the very least, they are censoring the truth and not letting it be told.
I'm still recovering from the concussion, and our adopted kitty cat Tarzan did get a secondary infection after eating the highly lethal plant, but he is also making a recovery as well.
After having lost homes to tornadoes and multiple hurricanes, we were so fortunate this time around to have minimal damage. But we feel for other cities here on the East Coast like Saint Augustine which is just miles away, not to mention New Smyrna where people are underwater.
And of course the massive devastation in southwest Florida, which you have probably seen in the news. Slate even went as far to call it the apocalypse.
The term is upsetting because it was a category four and catastrophic along the south west coast, and then came out here on the East Coast to go back to sea, but we know that the people of Florida are strong and survivors, and just as Floridians have done for hundreds of years, I know that we'll get through this.
It's so beautiful to see people come together helping one another during these times. I appreciate all the messages that I've received, and we are definitely sending our thoughts and prayers to those who are underwater or lost their home. We have been in that situation and it is absolutely devastating.
Love to all and you can find me on my remaining social media accounts here: withkoji.com/@HealthNutNews
Please also be sure that you are on my email/update list, because that is the one thing that they can never take away from us, and it allows us to keep a lifeline. healthnutnews.com/join/

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with the Twitter nonsense and apocalyptic Florida storms and devastation. It seems like there is no safe place to live with the droughts, fires, floods, and manufactured shortages that will impact us all. We must stay the course of our Constitutional liberties and pray for God to help us overcome tyranny.
Erin! I had no idea and it’s just infuriating and beyond absurd what they banned you for this time but not surprising. I hadn’t heard anything from you after I took a little break from twitter on behalf of my blood pressure that I could feel rising every time I went on. I’ve since drastically cut back and am pretty new on here. I was so happy to see your name! I honestly feel like such a jerk because I don’t even know how you hurt your head or that Tarzan had more troubles! 😩 I saw you on the Stew Peters show the other day though where you were wearing sunglasses and I hope you’re on the mend. Very grateful you made it through the storms this time. Oh my gosh, your concussion wasn’t caused by another tree being forced into your bedroom or something insane, right??? You do seem to have 9 lives 🐈😊
